Medical Internship Program in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Location

Thailand: Chiang Mai

Program Summary

Thailand has become a medical center for much of Asia and westerners travel halfway across the world to receive expert, inexpensive medical care. Thailand's medical system is well known for its highly qualified doctors, staff, and new medical equipment.

Medical Interns in this project will be paired with a full-time Thai doctor and work five days a week (Mon-Fri) 8:00am-4: 00 pm. In special cases interns may work on weekends and evenings. Interns will shadow the Thai doctor in their normal, daily routines and assist with professional responsibilities.

No more than two interns at any one time will be paired with each full-time doctor. The amount of "on hands" involvement while interning will depend upon the intern's experience, education, comfort level, the length of the internship and the consent of both the attending doctor and the hospital administration. Interns who have completed course study and received their medical degree will be able to execute a more active role during their internships.
